With distribution networks, the requirements for the collection and transmission of the electrical parameters are getting higher and higher. In order to improve the real-time performance and reliability of the electric parameter acquisition system, distribution networks provide a practical method for the real time acquisition and transmission of the electric parameters of the distribution system. This paper gives a new electric parameter acquisition system based on ARM. It presents the working principle, hardware design and function realization of the acquisition system. By experimentation it was proven that the method increases the real time and stability of the data acquisition system and plays an important role in the development of the electric parameter acquisition system.
